What happens when the compiler sees "-lc" in a link command line? What was libc.so linked to the last time I compiled something? Why not dual boot? You must have some disk space to be running gcc and gnat compiles. Make a few empty partitions, one for /, one for /usr/src, another for /usr/lib or /usr. You can share the swap partition and /tmp partition (ext2fs 1.06 runs on both libc5 and glibc systems, and up through its most current version uses the same filesystem format with both libc versions). ftp rh 4.2 or slackware 3.4 or a libc5 debian (or get the S.u.S.E. cd that's now $1.95 at http://linuxcentral.com), with kernel 2.0.3-something and libc5), make boot disks, install it on the new partitions. If you want to use gnat-3.10p with gcc-2.7.2.1 (compiled against libc5), put it on the (minimal) all-libc5 system. I'd guess you could easily do it with 300mb of free space, and that's probably generous, when you consider what all a standard linux system has that you don't need to develop ada code with gnat, gcc, and libc5. When a more-or-less validated gnat is released with tested glibc support, install it and lose the system on the old libc 5 partitions (or keep it for comparison compiling code that seems to find a compiler bug).
